"thanks Maria
Yes I filled in my form too...and then zilch!
I asked the office today and they sent me a reading at once, At least that is an improvement. "
"Hello Philippe. From what I remember we were told the meter readings were due to start at the end of this month, and we would receive them every month from then onwards. As for a key I don't know any resident who has one, and I…"
Electric meter reading
Would anyone know what is going on with the meter readings on the estate? a form was circulated so the staff would read the meters every month, but nothing seems to have happened. Would anyone have a key to the meter cupboard so I could take a reading? Thanks.See More

'Gagging' of our resident Common Councillors
In April the Court of Common Council was presented with a petition signed by over 1,100 City residents declaring 'no confidence' in the City's standards regime. The key issue being that resident Councillors are not able to represent their constituents on matters which affect their constituents no less than themselves without obtaining ‘dispensations’ that are widely refused.

Beech Street Tunnel
An 18 month trial starts in March to create the UK's first Zero Emission street with Beech Street tunnel.
This was first announced via local press and TV in December, much to the surprise of many local residents as there has been no consultation. There are concerns that there will be unwelcome consequences for the area which will affect the live and health of the local resident community.

Consultation on 'Open Spaces'
A resolution was passed at annual wardmote in March 2019:
“It was Resolved that the City of London Corporation commission a study reporting in no more than one year regarding pedestrian flows through the Golden Lane Estate ("GLE") resulting from current and anticipated property developments in the vicinity of the GLE and consult with GLE residents regarding the current "private" status of the GLE as a result of which residents pay for the maintenance of areas of the GLE that are in practice open to the public.”

Conservation Area
In April 2017 the Barbican Association and Golden Lane Estates Residents' Association (GLERA) approached the City with proposals for a new conservation area to include the Barbican and Golden Lane Estates and surrounding areas (red lined boundary on map).
The buildings of both Estates are listed and therefore already designated heritage assets, hence it is primarily the setting of the estates and the historical importance of the area that conservation area status will help to protect, in particular the massing and appearance of future developments and proposed demolitions within the area.
In May 2017 the City agreed to undertake an assessment of the proposed area.
